”I was ferried into emergency ward but abandoned for over 4 hrs due to non-payment of admission deposits. Regained partial consciousness later did the transfer of deposit,” the post reads.

“I was then admitted into the ward and given medical attention. This is the hospital that has my medical records.
n
“The last medical checkup I did about two months ago was there, but suddenly, I became a stranger because of non-payments of deposits even with the so-called name.
n
“After that, I fell into unconsciousness again for about 7 hours. To God be the glory, I have been discharged after three days & recovering.
n
“Were it not for partial consciousness to pay the deposits, I would have been Mr. late. Many Nigerians have gone this way. Where is our humanity?” he queried.
